The Peacefulness in GOD

Be Still And Know That He Is GOD

Where The Truth Can Be Found? Forgive Others...

“Sitting In the Park: A Passion Relived”

Today is Friday, as before when I was sitting in the park, I felt a feeling of belonging of peace and freedom. It took a milestone off of my mind, so free to do and to be who I wanted to be right there on the bench, breathing freely and of a grateful spirit. I smiled also thinking of whom I had become, promisingly loved.

 

Others passed by, some looked at me and others looked onward, to see what really drove me to just have a wonderful smile upon my face, it was also inside of me and in the universe, the Wonderful Works of God. Unspeakable joy experiencing it individually, God and I.

 

The trees felt so peaceful and calm, the wind softly, briskly brushing its leaves, as it flowed back and forth towards the east and the west. It also brushed my face I could feel the Lord in the air, I felt loved and I still do even today, Friday and every day, I still feel it as if it was but yesterday, hoping that this peacefulness continues forevermore.

 

Why would one really want to sit in the park? For to hear or to just view, people from all walks of life, walking hurriedly and some barely strolling along but all seemed happy at the most. Today is Friday and Monday cometh around again and again but for right now I concentrate on today, the Lord, then my family and friends that are in need or I just reminisce over their endeavors, all are important to me. Lovely is this day as were other days in yesteryears.

Sitting in the Park, fulfills my hopes my dreams, I feel a sense of longing to the natural essence of it, so peaceful and serene, God's hands so fervently covers the universe I feel Him in the air, in the people that pass by, So lovely the thought of it all, right now.

 

There comes a time in our lives that we must sit and do a reality check to bring together the thoughts that rushed timing try to remove, for we must take thought to take time for ourselves, so that we will be able to take time with others that need us in this daily life.

 

We can if we try to make it through, in increments of time. No need to rush through life, for God gives life to enjoy and to be happy in doing the right things in life, what a blessings that is!

 

After a brief or prolonged visit to the park, we leave refreshed and loving to come back once more, feeling the same way at the same time in the same place, what a beautiful life this is! So graceful we stroll, alone or hand in hand with God or a friend, perhaps your spouse a joy to behold, togetherness, in the park.

 

So full of freedom as we reach out and take hold of its beauty. There's a longing to sit there for a few more moments before returning to the life we left and to our lovely homes, once again until such a time that we return there to again touch the Hand of God in nature!

“The Wisdom in Poetry: Other Steps Forward in Writing”

Since the beginning of time we have had some type of writing in our midst. At first we may not have paid attention to such a gesture, it may have seemed primitive or too focused, during busy times. However, things do change and come full circle.

It’s imperative that we write well and with wisdom, for it unfolds freedom of the senses daily, it refreshes our lives with a special touch from the God of the universe, the Creator of mankind alike.

We search daily for happiness and fulfillment in our lives; we find that in writing and reading poetry. When we keep a journal or daily thought pattern in our heads we feel relieved and refreshed. When we release it we feel empowered with strength and fullness of joy in life.

It’s not too much for us to say that wisdom plays an important part in our lives as we write. Wisdom is awakened before us and is already in place before we arrive. It sits perched upon its pedestal and waits for our desire to find it; we find it in God’s Word also. Wisdom is free for the asking, God giveth it freely to the requester.

In order to reach a plateau in life of writing poetry we must feel poetry, we must get glad about its due happiness; it is a rewarding thing to do. It builds more than it tear down, it drives forward more than it backs off, riches unknown and untold find a place in poetry. A great step forward in time marking a remnant of peace.

In the hands of friendly people poetry is written to build up, to free a mind that is entangled in self-pity, or simply spread a quote or wisdom, as wisdom takes its course, happiness follows it. In order to write with wisdom in poetry you must have a need to reach goals in life; you must reach forward and upward.

If a poet become a novelist then they are all the better for it, for we know that wisdom relates to healing for healing relates to goodness and it fits the scene in wellness of mind, heart, body and soul of the one involved. You will write poetry when you are truly a poet, you will write a novel with freedom of style, you become a part of that book. So wisdom tells the author where the fine line is drawn and when it dips to its highest points or dives low into the realms of thought.

You must be wise to be a poet, they say the pay is not good, but it is fulfilling. As for the novelist, write them a check and send them on their way, to the next poetry verse, for one day it will be needed and wisdom has already prepared its morsel. Just a morsel of poetry from the hand of a great poet will suffice a person’s taste for a slight bit of enthusiasm. Wisdom teaches her student how to write and to read poetry. Poetry is from the hands of God, so He speaks to our hearts through a stroke of wisdom from the pen.

Whether we hear it or not, it will tell, for our days change not and our nights are all solemnly fixed upon near positives. However, poetry with its stroke of wisdom sets us forward in time, reaching us early morning or noonday, midnight or break of dawn, poetry pours freedom upon our souls! Be it best to write with wisdom and take a step forward in the world of poetry as never before.

Wisdom teaches us truths that would be otherwise held back, yet it burst forth as wise as the pen in the hand that writes with wisdom. Take a step forward and force positives upon your mind for it is richness in the land of poetry! Start your day with poetry, and wisdom will be at your door to greet you every day. Step into your blessings, read more talk less and hear the wisdom that flows from your heart, mind and soul, go forward, taking a step only one at a time, thereby you may come upon wisdom early.

You need not chase after wisdom for it is free, did you ask and God not give it to you, or did you leave it intentionally behind? It is surely there when you ask for it; poetry purifies thoughts and senses that need its fruitful pleasant scent. As a rose is poetry is, as a simply word is, wisdom is, only take heed to its beckoning and live happily in the wisdom thereof through the flowing verses of poetry. Write well and write often for its reward is forthcoming, for wisdom rewards its takers.

“Self Help is When…”

Self-Help is When…

You talk to others and by hearing your

voice you derive at your own answers.

~

You see your way and have the drive of

of encouragement to tell yourself you’ve

done this before and arrived victoriously!

~

You humble yourself, search out your

teachable spirit and then ask questions.

~

You know that you are a remarkable

person, serve a remarkable God, and

your resources look prosperous for

the journey!

~

You remind yourself that you haven’t

always had everything at your fingertips

as some others, and you can achieve it

if you try hard enough.

~

You plainly look at your mountain and

rename it as somebody else’s hill to climb.

Thereby, making it smaller and also not

claiming it any further to be yours!

* * *

Quote… In richness of character there is

found hope that surfaces even through

tough times in life. The very nature of a

strong person depends upon God’s mercy.
